In addition to the revamp of their online store, from Thursday 17th-Saturday 19th November renowned festival organisers ATP will be opening their very first pop-up shop in London. ATP will be taking over the basement of Maiden, 188 Shoreditch High Street, London E1 6HU for three days.
Maiden, situated on the south end of Shoreditch High Street, sells a wonderful mixture of products that are fun, colourful, light-hearted and playful. Maiden sells everything, but not anything; wallpaper, wall stickers, ceramics, gifts, books, lighting and toys. Like an Aladdin's cave, Maiden is filled to the rafters with all manner of things: think giant rubber ducks, Chinese waving cats, animal egg cups, David Bowie masks and potato guns. Maiden is a shop full of everything you ever wanted to own, just for the sheer sake of it. As well as the ever changing ranges of product on the ground floor the Maiden also has a basement which has played host to a number of specatularly different temporary events. From fashion, to art, to royal memorabilia, all manner of things have gone on downstairs at Maiden; there was even the World's first X rated cake shop there for four days in 2010 (the vagina cupcakes sold out in under an hour).

About ATP
All Tomorrow’s Parties is an organisation based in London that has been promoting festivals, concerts and records throughout the world for over ten years. It was founded by Barry Hogan in 1999 in preparation for the first All Tomorrow’s Parties festival, the line-up of which was curated by Mogwai and took place in the unusual setting of Pontins Holiday Camp, Camber Sands.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jim Jarmusch, Pavement, The Flaming Lips, The Breeders, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Mike Patton & Melvins, My Bloody Valentine, Explosions In The Sky, Pitchfork Media, Portishead, Dirty Three, Sonic Youth, The Shins, Sleater Kinney, Dinosaur Jr., Devendra Banhart, Mudhoney, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Mars Volta, Vincent Gallo, Slint, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Stephen Malkmus, Mogwai, Tortoise, Shellac, Autechre, Modest Mouse, Simpsons’ creator Matt Groening and Animal Collective.
Since then the festival has appeared every year, and continues to set itself apart from festivals like Reading or Glastonbury by staying intimate, non-corporate and fan-friendly. Another vital difference is that the line-ups are chosen by significant bands or artists, resulting in unpredictable and exciting events which combine performances by legendary and influential acts with appearances by the latest crop of experimental artists from any (and every) musical genre. The All Tomorrow’s Parties festival has become more successful with every passing year, moving in 2006 to a larger holiday camp. It has taken place in the UK, USA and Australia, and has been curated by the following artists:
All Tomorrow’s Parties also differentiates itself from other festivals by embracing seemingly disparate artistic genres. Most festival events feature art exhibitions and cinema programmes and others have featured spoken word performances, stand up comedy and book clubs.
